My family left Ethiopia 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Saint Paul. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a farmer in Ethiopia, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well.
We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $440
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $460
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $950
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
